Bridget Dixon had to be cut free from her grey Nissan Qashqai by fire fighters after its rear was hit by a Volkswagon and BMW as they stopped to turn right at the Horseshoe pub on the Stratford Road.

The 55 year-old was taken to hospital along with four others following the crash at 5pm.

Bridget, who was driving, while her husband Tom was in the passenger seat, said she saw the two cars “speeding” towards her in her rear-view mirror.

She said her car was then shunted into oncoming traffic.

Police are investigating claims that one of the other drivers fled the scene.

Emergency crews called to Stratford Road on Sunday afternoon after accident involving three vehicles

“I looked in my mirror and said to Tom, he’s not going to stop, he’s going to hit us. Someone is going to get killed,” Bridget, from Kineton Green, Solihull, told the Birmingham Mail.

“It was horrendous. They were going in excess of 80 mph.

“There was a huge crunching sound- I’ve never heard anything like it.

“It was total pandemonium.

“I was pinned in. I saw blood on my neck, and thought that I was dying.

“I was in shock and I was screaming. I had a neck injury so they decided the only way to get me out was by taking the roof off.”

Bridget was rushed to Heartlands Hospital, along with four other injured people, where she was treated for a suspected broken collar bone, and chest, neck and leg injuries.

Her husband Tom, 54, escaped with cuts and bruises.

Bridget, whose daughter Helen has flown over from New Zealand following the ordeal, is calling on city planners to put a speed camera on the dangerous stretch of road.

“Something needs to be done,” she said. “I don’t wish the drivers any harm, but if they keep speeding like that they are going to either kill themselves or someone else. And that would be a terrible waste.”

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: “Police were called just after 5pm on Sunday June 14 to reports of a four car crash on Stratford Road, Hall Green.

“Five people were injured and taken to hospital for treatment.

“Officers are investigating claims that one of the drivers fled from the scene.

“If anyone has any information about the incident they can contact police on 101.”
